Hi, I'm mademoiselle Ioana

Code Noir Style is a virtual space where I gathered my passions for fashion, different stories, a little bit of upcycling and all kind of cultural adventures. With a little help from my friends, Code Noir Style is authentic and genuine, accessorized with humour and of course, a touch of style. What is not CNS? It isn't another fashion blog you'll read to find out how to make things, but a playground for sharing experiences, ideas and local or more international news. Read More

“I wear my Ego” – the audio piece of jewelry

“Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright.” I always loved peacocks, but never thought I’m going to be one some day. “Ego”, “jewelry”, “peacock”, “mask” – these were the words frosting on a sunny autumn morning as well as many other words while talking with master of words Ioana Baldea Constantinescu. Starting from her idea about a certain need today to show the ego like a peacock’s tail and run after…

FAST FASHION 2012 – cu un pestisor de aur se face primavara?

A sosit invitația pentru Fast Fashion, târgul francez dedicat soluțiilor de subcontractare. Odată cu ea vine o curiozitate nedisimulată. Explozia de târguri internaționale specializate din ultimii ani și criza forțează organizatorii francezi să procedeze diferit față de iunie 2011. «Lille is really trying to jazz it up», remarcă un prieten producător care colaborează de ani de zile cu companiile importante din regiune și care îmi spunea glumind că singurul loc unde se întâmplă ceva era în mallul orașului. Tissu Premier,…

Ethicando – once upon a time in Paris

  La mafia et ses histoires ont toujours fascinés. Des histoires vraies avec un parfum cinématographique où le bien ne gagne jamais et où on se demande ce qui motivent certains de se pencher vers le côté si obscure de la balance. Quand j’ai appris qu’à Paris a ouvert un concept store où on peut acheter des vins italiens produits sur les terres confisquées de la mafia et pannetone fait en prison, mon imagination n’a fait qu’un tour et n’a pas attendu…

Who’s Dree Hemingway?

She turned more fashionable heads around than The Wintour at Carven’s show last week at Parisian Fashion Week. She’s blond, blue eyed and the daughter of actress Mariel Hemigway and Stephen Crisman, and yes, the great-grand daughter of author Ernest Hemigway. At only 24, Dree moves fast – her fashion debut show was in 2009 for Givenchy, followed by Calvin Klein, Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, House of Holland or Rue du Mail. Since, world of fashion is embrassing her: editorials for…

The surprise at Lady Gaga’s concert was… The Darkness

Lady Gaga’s concert in Bucharest raised a gamut of reactions, some positive, some negative, some focused more on details, i.e when in the middle of the concert she announced that she had to vomit, and apologised for disappearing backstage. This ‘detail’ became headline in the next day’s newspapers, with Gaga being more criticised on how ‘disgusting’ she is then on the quality of her show or performance. As Léon Zitrone’s say goes: ‘good or bad, just let them talk about…

Rechin Story

Au fost o dată niște copaci cu rechini aurii. Erau mulți și zumzăiau încetișor în poeticul orășel din nordul Franței, Lille. Într-o joi, când oamenii sunt moi, un rechin mai tupeist s-a gândit să agațe o roșcată care avea un pulovăr cu auriu în el – s-a gândit el că e semn bun! S-a agățat de pulovarul ei, nici la lift sau la toileta nu a lăsat-o singură – ați mai văzut un rechin auriu și o roșcată la toileta…
